    I lead a trip up the Canning last year in my RRS (3.0 ltr TDV6). No issues - was a great trip. Yes the GOE rods were indispensable for high speed travel in the dune country (we had 4 LR vehicles, all on the GOE rods).

    If you need any further info, email me (or search for my post August/sept last year)

    Cheers,

    Gordon

    Just spray a lubricant that does not effect rubber.....they come off nice and easy.

    If you do go ahead and do the trip, along with all the spares, get some old tyre tube and cut a piece the same size as the base of your batteries and then put it under the batteries. The CSR is a shocker for battery issue's, and a late model car that rely's on electrics like yours would doesn't need a battery to fail.

    The only battery to fail in our group was the only 1 not mounted on rubber.

    Enjoy the trip.

    Cheers Ean

    Thanks good tip. We mount all our Zerox photocopier's on high density foam on the ship as we have same sort of issues with regards to vibration/shock to sensitive electronics.
